Features
Everything NIDO offers your centre, grouped by area: from the classroom day to day to billing.
The classroom day to day

- For each child: meals, bottles, naps and nappy changes, plus general wellbeing, mood and notes. Families see it in real time and the log flags allergies.

- Meal register
- How much each child has eaten, based on the centre menu.
- Daily service record
- Services of the day (e.g. lunch), later used in the receipts.
- Classroom photos
- Photo posts. When uploaded, location and metadata are removed, and only children with image consent can be tagged.
- Medication
- Record of medication given, with double confirmation.
- Offline
- Work can continue even if the connection drops.
Communication with families
